Sharpen your skills
Ongoing. Looking for something a little dangerous yet fun to spice up Valentine’s Day? Consider a class where you’ll learn to make a handcrafted knife at the Cripple Creek District Museum. Hands-on classes about 19th-century knife-making — just like those used by early mountain men and miners — by David M.H. Smith, an artist who specializes in metals and historic preservation. Three-hour sessions are held Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays for $50, which includes instruction, materials and museum admission. This class is part of a series this year that will focus on skills employed by early Coloradans. To make a reservation, call 303-719-2879 or e-mail info@ . 500 Bennett Ave., Cripple Creek, 719-689-2634, .
